Exchange card featuring a black upcycled denim feather, black lace and a layered greeting

For my second exchange card I decided to use a black upcycled denim feather which I recently created.  You can check here for more information.   I trimmed a blue green card to fit in my envelope.  I added the decorative paper in two pieces and created a layer to cover where they join.  I started my layer with a strip of bright yellow cardstock and added a length of black lace securing the ends to the back with double sided tape.  I stitched on a length of yellow ribbon before mounting the strip to my card front.  I created a swirl at the top of my feather, placed it over my ribbon and tied a single knot to secure it to my card front.  I added a layered greeting to finish off my card.  My greeting consists of a yellow scalloped circle (Nestibilities), a black circle punchie (SU), a stamped circle greeting all held together with a gold star brad.  I mounted the greeting to my card using 3D foam tape.     Therese
